...Harvard Advocate proudly presents sounds of E.S.P. and RUPTURE. A night of electronic music with two of the Toneburst collective's formidable digital samurais. More of a performance/concert than a dance party, but do what you will. Advocate House, 21 South St. 10 p.m. FREE...
Moreover, the vague speeches, the trite chants of "no justice, no peace" and banging of tom-toms and tambourines created a circus-like atmosphere that made you wonder whether the Faculty or administrators would take the students' demands seriously at all.

Was it a party or a protest? Even after stopping to listen to part of the rally, one thirty something woman turned to me and asked, "What is this about?" I half...
...sure enough, now it is one, opening last week off-Broadway with a contradictory set of expectations. On the one hand, it's a rare case of a musical with lots of hype potential that has emerged fully formed--book, lyrics and music by newcomer Paul Scott Goodman--with almost no advance publicity.

A bona fide off-Broadway smash and soon-to-be-movie, Hedwig also makes a captivating rock-'n'-roll album. The tale of a transsexual trailer-park denizen, Hedwig echoes the gender-blending audacity of late 1970s David Bowie and the hormone-stoked feverishness of early Meat Loaf. But John Cameron Mitchell's vocals and Stephen Trask's music have their own raw poetry. The spirit of Hedwig shines through: cheeky, resilient, wounded but triumphant...
